Jan. 20th, 2009 11:19 pmI watched the inauguration this morning, the first one I ever watched. I am so happy to have a president I can believe in, who is not an embarrassment, who is technologically and scientifically aware. Good riddance to the whiny, pouty monkey he's replacing.
I taught my first vegetables class tonight, on soils ("Grow your soil!"). Community service, you know, volunteering for the MGs.
Our neighbors had an inauguration party, to which I came late, due to the class, so we closed it down. Too bad, I still feel like partying, but everyone else has gone home.
Probably including most of you, dear readers. Good night.
ETA: I know there are many barriers to break still: the first female president, the first gay president, the first Jewish president. But I do wonder when politicians will finally be able to be 'out' about being agnostic or atheist. I have a sneaking suspicion that Obama is one of those, but it's political suicide in this day and age for anyone to acknowledge it publicly. When will religion go back in the closet (oh, all right, into the place of worship) where it belongs, and get out of politics? I know this is not a novel observation, but for a country that supposedly separates church and state, there sure is an awful lot of church (read Christian) in our state.
